Hi,

24/04.
20:19; CLX452 JFK-LUX FL390 LX-VCE

26/04.
A Low pressure weather system is currently situated over the UK, and between the showers there are some stunning patches of blue sky. In this case, a lot of light was reflected back on the underside of the aircraft from nearby clouds. The disadvantage is the lack of contrails.

Forgot to change the settings on the camera and ended up shooting at 1/125, but luckily got away with it.

Regards,
James.

Hi friends,
after three years I saw Awacs on the sky :-) But a few days ago I sold my ultrazoom. But I have a brand new DSLR, so shot on 55mm :D Skywatcher coming soon :-)
